Airflow Specification Each enclosure fan supplied with the ETM25/27/29 is rated at 45 +/- 3 cubic feet per minute (cfm) in free air or zero static pressure, with a total airflow of 90 cfm. The actual airflow volume through the enclosure is less than this figure, depending on the selected SBC and options and their shape.

____________________________Caution _____________________________

The system integrator must ensure that the airflow is suitable for the application. Air filters must be cleaned and or serviced on a regular basis. Correct intervals are strongly influenced by site specific conditions. An initial inspection and cleaning interval of 30 days should be adjusted based on site specific conditions. The frequency with which you need to replace the air filter depends on site specific conditions. Failure to clean or replace the filters will decrease expected MTBF: reduced air flow will increase internal temperatures, and internal contamination can occur. _________________________________________________________________

____________________________Vorsicht _____________________________

Der Systemintegrator muß sicherstellen, daß der Luftstrom für das Gerät geeignet ist. _________________________________________________________________

Installing and Removing Option Boards


Option Board Configurations This section provides information on option board configurations. The module unit has 10 external openings that can accommodate option boards. One or two of these openings are reserved for the SBC, the remainder can be used by a mixture of PCI and ISA options. Consult the manuals for the SBC for any additional requirements concerning power, adequate airflow provision, and any other matters. You can install various combinations of PCI and ISA option boards onto the Force Computers Flexor Family backplane (1) (see Figure 4-1). Installation of the SBC can only be made in the SBC connectors (2) located on the backplane.

_____________________________Note _______________________________

The rear panel of the enclosure chassis has a series of gaskets that must connect with the metal brackets of options cards. Take care when inserting the option cards so that they connect with these gaskets. If the option cards do not make proper contact with the gaskets, unacceptable electromagnetic interference may be caused. Care must also be taken when removing or installing the option cards. _________________________________________________________________

_____________________________Note _______________________________

The procedures for installing and removing option boards apply equally to both PCI and ISA option boards. However, the illustrations in the following sections only show ISA option boards and SBCs. _________________________________________________________________

Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel and Air Filter

_____________________________Note _______________________________

In all service operations, use care to avoid damaging cables and EMC gasketing. _________________________________________________________________

_____________________________Note _______________________________

The frequency with which you need to replace the air filter depends on local conditions. _________________________________________________________________

Remove the front bezel and air filter from the 10-slot enclosure as follows (see Figure 5-1):

1. The enclosure need not be removed from a rack, or have its outer cover removed to access the air filter.

2. Remove the front bezel assembly (1) from the enclosure, by prising it from the chassis at an accessible corner using a flat-bladed screwdriver.

3. With the bezel assembly removed, remove the air filter (2) from the rear of the front bezel frame.

4. Change the air filter or wash it in warm soapy water.

5. Ensure that the air filter is dry and replace it by reversing the above steps.

____________________________Caution _____________________________

The system integrator must ensure that the airflow is suitable for the application. Air filters must be cleaned and or serviced on a regular basis. Correct intervals are strongly influenced by site specific conditions. An initial inspection and cleaning interval of 30 days should be adjusted based on site specific conditions. The frequency with which you need to replace the air filter depends on site specific conditions. Failure to clean or replace the filters will decrease expected MTBF: reduced air flow will increase internal tempera tures, and internal contamination can occur. _________________________________________________________________

Disassembly Stages If it is necessary to disassemble the rackmount kit from the chassis slide kit, carry out the following steps:

1. Unlock the rackmounted module from the rack.

2. Pull out and unload the rackmounted module from the rack using a lift.

3. Remove the module unit from the rack.

4. Remove the rollerbars from the module unit, if required.

5. Remove the handle assemblies from the module unit, if required.

The following sections describe how to carry out the individual steps required to complete each assembly or disassembly stage.



Attaching the Slide Kits and Handle Assemblies to the Module Unit Use the following steps to assemble the chassis slides and handle assemblies to the enclosure (see Figure 6-1):

1. Open each chassis slide assembly by pulling out the rollerbar (1) from the slide tracks so that the set of four holes is accessible.

2. Align the set of four holes in the rollerbar with the threaded holes in the side of the enclosure.

3. Attach a rollerbar to each side of the enclosure with the eight 8-32 x 0.187-inch Philips flathead screws (2). Ensure that the front of the rollerbar is mounted to the front of the enclosure.

4. Attach the handle assemblies (3) to each side of the enclosure with the four 6-32 x 5/16-inch screws (4).

____________________________Caution _____________________________

Do not use screws longer than 0.187 inches (0.64 cm) to attach rollerbars to the main enclosure. _________________________________________________________________

____________________________Vorsicht _____________________________

Keine Schrauben, die länger als 0.187 inches (0.64 cm) sind, zur Befestigung von Laufrollenleisten an der Moduleinheit verwenden. _________________________________________________________________

Assembling the Mounting Brackets to the Rack Assemble the mounting brackets to the rack by carrying out the following steps (see Figure 6-2):

1. Attach a mounting bracket to the rack at the desired rack height using the kit of parts supplied for use with the rack (see rack vendor for supply).

2. Using the same size of screws, washers, and nuts, attach the remaining mounting brackets to the rear and opposite side of the rack, so that all four brackets are at the same height.

Figure 6-2: Assembling the Mounting Brackets to the Rack

_____________________________ Note_______________________________

Figure 6-2 illustrates the assembly of the mounting brackets to the left-hand slide track. You also need to assemble the mounting brackets to the right-hand slide track in the same way. _________________________________________________________________

Loading the Module Unit Assembly into the Mounting Brackets

Assemble the module unit with attached slides and handles into the mounting brackets fixed in the rack by carrying out the following steps (see Figure 6-3):



___________________________WARNING ____________________________

When assembling or accessing the module unit mounted in a rack, take precautions to ensure that the rack does not overbalance. _________________________________________________________________

__________________________WARNUNG ____________________________


1. Using a lift, position the module unit with slides and handles so that the rear ends of the rollerbars slot into the mounting brackets.

2. Gently guide the module unit into position in the rack.

3. From a fully inserted position, withdraw the module unit from the rack so that the four mounting holes in the mounting brackets are visible. Ensure that the weight of the module is still held by the lift to prevent over balancing.

4. Attach the rollerbars to the mounting brackets using four 10-32 screws.
